Pokémon (Not-So) Griefing Thread - Scarlet and Violet Released with 10 Million Copies in First 3 Days in Buggy States

Reminder that Gamefreak also released TOWN this year.
Yeah that game that I bet you already forgot. They took away half their company to make it, and most people say it was shit.
Hopefully the modding scene will cause Nintendo to do some investigating of how competent game freak are as a developer because the sales are sadly doing well.

Sad thing is I had hope for town and that turned out really bad

So it officially happened., someone decided to set themselves on fire outside a Gamestop, in protest of Game Freak's changes in Pokemon Sw/Sh. Hope he actually didnt set himself on fire. His tweets are pure gold.

I can foresee two outcomes.

The optimist route: The next set of games has all the mons back and GF tries to pull a EVERYONE IS HERE! and/or treat it like a revolutionary brand new feature.

The pessimist route: They stay the course and you're forced to go through Pokemon Prison for a marginally larger number of mons.

Honestly, I'm still not entirely sure which one will happen. The pessimist outcome is easy to pick out but there's still the glimmer of hope in me that Dexit really did come down to massive time crunch and general incompetence and the whole "This is how it's going to be forever" statement they did repeatedly was just the worst PR move in the history of PR moves. It could be argued they didn't want to say "Not all the Pokemon are here but they will be for the following titles" because they feared people wouldn't buy the initial games of a gen and just wait for the next set but, they still pissed off a lot of fans anyway so maybe they thought the former was the lesser of two evils somehow?

I don't know... Every time I mull over this there's plenty of reasons to suggest either outcome. But I'd be lying if I said the pessimist one doesn't look more and more likely at this point. Between Masuda's statements just last year of not wanting to cut mons, Home popping up out of nowhere when Bank was supposed to be the future of transfers for quite some time, so many Kanto mons missing despite them all being in Let's Go and SWSH's engine allegedly being based off of it (and it's not like they left them out to avoid favoritism when Kanto got extra shilling anyway), hell even data for the national dex being in the damn game, it all just adds up far too much.
Click to expand...
Masuda's a softie, guy nearly passed out over gen 3 when pokemania died down, the guy is aware of how the community reacts and stuff, I do feel the dex shit is going to get reversed for two reasons
1. easy PR
2. they don't want to be outdone by modders (same shit happened when project m brought back mewtwo and roy for smash, magically they are in smash 4 :thinking:)

I think Nintendo is going to go on a banning spree and shut all this fan made shit down.

This is a bigger deal than the Smash brothers mods.

I mean they have tried, and failed before, plus in the case of pokemon its like a hydra for fan projects

I’m hearing that Bulbasaur and Squirtle are actually in the game despite the leaks. Can anyone confirm?

Yea I think it was revealed that there were more pokemon in the download data, and that the lists that were going around were all pokemon that were present on the cart

There are specifically 35 "extra" mons in the game that aren't in the dex itself. Among them are the other Kanto starters, Alola starters, some of the Unova and Alola legendaries, most of the mythicals and a couple other random odds and ends. Notably some movesets were even updated for them. Blastoise gets Shell Smash and Venusaur gets Earth Power and Weather Ball. Probably for future events and raids or whatever.

People who say that didn't get to Nessa's water gym and take Razor Shell to the face from her Dreadnaw. I barely survived that fight 6-3 with level & type advantaged pokemon.

Man, really? I OHKO'd that thing with my Roselia. Granted I Dynamax'd it, but I'm sure a single regular move would still do it since 4x weakness and level 26/27 vs 24. If you want a tough one, Kabu was that, I was lucky to get double Toxic Spikes thanks to Arcanine getting parahax'd, but the fact I had no Water-Type forced me to waste some turns on Centiskorch while the poison dealt with it. Though I was mainly fucking around, by throwing in my two Grass-Types in first.

So what's this on limiting the critters you can catch? I know it used to be based on what you could buy.
Click to expand...
Before this game you could catch literally anything at any level. This game it restricts you from catching Pokémon above certain level, requiring you to get badges to catch higher level Pokémon (25 at one badge, 30 at two, 35 at three, and so on). Needless to say, no one likes this mechanic at all, especially since it can make you unable to catch a shiny. Or well, the game was SUPPOSED to prevent you from finding shinies if the Pokémon is too high level, but Game Freak fucked that one up too.

The first one is kind of justifiable, but it proves that GF is being more autistic than usual: You couldn't trade pokemon that were above an certain level without it flipping you off all the time.

I don't think it's justified. If you can catch a ridiculously overleveled mon, you should be able to use it. It's the reward for overcoming the challenege, either by being overleveled yourself, clever, or just plain lucky. Linking the gym badges to traded pokemon made sense. This seems like a hamhanded attempt at forcing you along a certain progression path in an otherwise open world.

I watched a let's play of SwSh and laughed my ass off when I saw that there was a long unskippable cutscene right after Pokemon selection to make it harder for players to save scum for a female.

If you save just before walking up to the Pokemon, and you have the "ask to nickname your Pokemon" option turned on (can't believe that's an option, now), you can check in the naming section the gender without having to wait through a long cutscene to get to the battle. Took my brother seven or eight resets before he got a female Sobble.

the weirdest part to me is the joycon issues, the fact that the game might be messing with joycons is the kinda horrifying.

Eh, the joycons tends to go bad after a few months. But this is the result of someone getting a few important lines of code wrong and overclocking the system with the graphics.

It's caused by dirt accumulating under the sticks. There's an way to fix it...but doing so runs the risk of fucking it even more.

It happened to both pairs of mine (which is unfortunate because I got the special edition Smash ones). It was likely influenced by Super Mario Party as well though... fucking stupid game I regret buying it lmao.
